by chance, by choice




"friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'what! you too? i thought i was the only one!'" 
- c.s. lewis (british scholar and novelist, 1898-1963)

indeed.

  1. She has a smile I would love to see across from me in a cafe after I lift up my head from looking into my steaming cup of black coffee.

  2. Real friendship is a rare thing. We should cherish it, care for it. And this friend makes good photos as well.
    I don't know exactly where, but the photo is taken in the Netherlands. No doubt about that.

  4. I totally agree. And she has such a luminous smile (brightening even a crappy rainy day like that one)!

  5. I always take great delight in reading about the times you and Rachel spend together (having been reading your sites for about the same length of time). :)

  7. Yes, Pieterbie: this is in the middle of Amsterdam, in 'de Jordaan', which used to be a rather poor part of the town, but is now rather fashionable. And yes, Rachel has a very nice, shy smile!
